Radeon Fury DVI dillema

I want to get the upcoming AMD Radeon Fury cards, but it seems that they only output to DisplayPort or the inferior HDMI. Unfortunately, my monitor only supports DVI input, which hasn't been a problem until now.

I understand that there are DP->DVI adapters, but will I be able to still get 1680x1050 @ 120Hz using those adapters? Will they significantly affect my response time? What is the difference between "active" and "passive" adapters?

120Hz refresh is very important to me, and I would obviously prefer to not have to get a new monitor in addition to a new graphics card.

Thanks for the informative reply! Do you have a sense of how an active adapter would affect response time?

I am considering a Fury card for performance, naturally. My current card (7850) is a few years old and can't maintain sufficient FPS at 1680x1050 with high settings. I'm an "old school" gamer, so it doesn't seem like a low resolution for me.

I love my current monitor so an upgrade didn't seem necessary. However, with the active dual-link adapters costing $100+, I'm thinking that upgrading the monitor would be worth it anyway.

Why not upgrade your monitor to a panel which supports FreeSync? Refresh rates in excess of 60hz are more of a marketing gimmick, and LG has a UHD panel with FreeSync for $600. You'll still need a new card though.

I've been reading about FreeSync and it looks pretty awesome. Although I've personally noticed that 120+Hz is incredibly important in FPS games which have technical movement (like Quake, Unreal Tournament, Warsow, etc). So it would be nice to force constant 120Hz in those applications, but otherwise use FreeSync. Do you know if it is convenient to toggle FreeSync on/off?
